Jewish activist Avigdor Eskin supports Afrikaner freedom struggle

The Russian-Jewish activist Avigdor Eskin, who lives in Jerusalem, has given his support to the Afrikaners for their freedom struggle. Speaking on a YouTube video from his home in Jerusalem, he said many Jews feel with him that the State of Israel had a great friend in South Africa during apartheid.

He’d also met General Hendrik van den Bergh (who headed the bureau of state security, Boss). Eskin described Van den Bergh as ‘a man of great dignity and faith.” At a time when our people were being turned away by many countries during the holocaust, South Africa opened up its gates to many refugees from the Holocaust,” he said.

“I had the privilege of being a friend of South Africa until Mandela took over the country. I’ve never met a people like the Afrikaners, so honest and with so much love for Israel,’ he said.

‘The Afrikaners were forced into the referendum-vote by foreign powers who had convinced F W de Klerk to do so, he said.

“And now we in Israel have nothing but enemies in Pretoria, that government now has become friends with Hammas and THE many other enemies of Israel.’

“It is also inconceivable what is going on with the Afrikaners now. During apartheid the average life expectancy was 64. Now it’s 32. Life was so much better for all the people of South Africa during apartheid than thereafter. The Afrikaners were much more humane, BUT today they will have to be much less humane remain to regain their power, yet it must be done. Over 3,000 Boer farmers already killed, so many people killed on the streets each day, don’t tell me these (murders) don’t have a racial flavour.”

“I did foresee and I did warn that the 1994-referendum and the dismantling of the apartheid system would be disastrous for the Afrikaners.”

“But now we can help them and we have the capability of becoming allies again. Let’s sit down and seehow we can regain justice and righteousness. I love you and I want to help you.”

“God bless you.’

Gift to Obama: Whites return to power in South Africa

Recently the British newspaper The Guardian published a document attesting to the extremely close relationship between Israel and South Africa since the early seventies until the establishment there of the black regime in 1994. That article was in response to the international community on Israel's attempts to undermine the credibility of the notorious "Report Goldstone”.

'This former judge from South Africa distinguished himself by taking very politically incorrect decisions early in his career, when the country had a system of separate development - apartheid. The flurry of information about his judicial tricks began emerging in the Israeli newspapers within a month, the book by Polyakov-Suranskogo telling the details about the alliance of Israel with South Africa.

In interviews after the publication of "The Guardian" Polyakov-Suransky not conceal his intention to show up Israel for its "duplicity". – saying that they themselves were the closest partners of South Africa, publishing documents showing how Goldstone curried favor with the authorities and taking racist judicial decisions. Polyakov-Suranskogo is the chief editor of the official mouthpiece of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a liberal multinational company which launches frequent attacks on Israel.

It is sad that the official Israeli response was unconvincing, immoral, ineffective and short-sighted: it was unsuitable to be ashamed of its most loyal and trusted allies. It also is unwise deny the facts, which are corroborated by the audited documents. Especially when you know that there are many more such documents.

In addition, a sober look at what is happening in South Africa today suggests that there is hope for a return to power of our friends in the foreseeable future.

So I want to back the publication of "The Guardian" that knows me and has not been published until now.

In early 1968, Israel ‘s Shim Peres had a meeting with the head of South African intelligence service, General Hendrik Van Der Bergh. The meeting took place in a small Tel Aviv restaurant. The negotiations were successful, but the (Afrikaner) guest was a little surprised when Perez got up and said solemnly: "As long as you are alive, and I promise you that our countries are such a close relationship, which does not exist among the other allies." I was told this in 1988 by general van der Bergh when I was his guest on a farm near Pretoria. He also told me about how the Air Force in South Africa were in a state of alert during "Operation Entebbe".

The level of trust between Israel and South Africa had in fact reached the then unprecedented levels. I had the opportunity to help the South African government to protect its interests in the U.S. and Europe since 1984 and until the advent to power by Nelson Mandela.

And I can bear witness today that the degree of decency South African Boers displayed were unequalled by other nations int he world. I came in contact with General van den Bergh through their contacts with American conservatives to help South Africa to confront the Communist expansion.

As you recall, the Cuban "volunteers" were deployed to the territory of Angola, and the terrorists of the African National Congress were graduates of the institute named after Patrice Lumumba, or similar institutions.

With such close knowledge of South Africa, I am increasingly amazed at the falsity of the international media and the absolute truth of Afrikaners in their quest for freedom – and at their wholehearted support which all the white South Africans gave to support Israel.

This is not about sentimentality - but written with a profound sense of justice and a living connection with the biblical teachings.

It will be recalled that during the Second World War, when America refused to let in Jewish refugees, even spreading suspicions about their pro-Communist sentiments, even in children – it was South Africa which opened the gates to the country to help them flee from the gas chambers. And the Afrikaners continued to fight against Britain to gain full independence. The Afrikaners gained hegemony in 1948.

The aapprochement between the two countries began after the Six Day War, and assumed the character of a true alliance between the two countries – both having been victims of defamation and aggression by the communists and the liberal world.

But it was the pressure from the Americans and the Europeans which led to the dramatic change in South Africa – and the results of which now have reached staggering proportions.

I foresee a question: what about apartheid? I give the answer: we do not specify the Boers on how to govern, but if you look at the origins of our morality and then take a look at African realities, we must reach the conclusion that our Afrikaner friends created a highly sophisticated model of society.

If someone wants to learn the traditional Jewish view on the race issue, then let them open the ninth chapter of Genesis and read about the paradigm of the historical fate of the descendants of Ham. These provisions are reinforced in the Talmud. They are particularly bright documented in the collection of midrash "Meam Loaiza. To refine the recall: Rabbi Yehuda Halevi in the very beginning of his book "Kuzari" wrote that a “black’s lack of natural ability, and a human face and the ability to sayings from them - essentially a shortage." No less sharp and a great Maimonides (Rambam), who at the beginning of the 51st chapter in the third part of his work "around the misguided" writes: "As for blacks, living in the south and in our area, I consider them to be irrational creatures. They are not at the human level, and below it, but above the level of a monkey, because its appearance have human form and have higher mental abilities than a monkey. " Interestingly, in Hebrew numerology name President Obama gives 48, as the name Ham.

Apartheid was never a form of slavery, but in fact it was designed to create optimal living conditions for the development of blacks. It is noteworthy that many millions of blacks were stopped from coming into the country during apartheid because they were being decimated in their own countries.

However today, South Africa has ceased to be an attractive place. More than three thousand white farmers were brutally murdered by negroid criminals in recent years. Those of you who say that crime is not race-related: the criminals do belong to a specific race – as do their victims. ...

Apartheid has emerged as a humane embodiment of the ideas of the ninth chapter of the first books of the Bible. Recall also that Afrikaners did not enslave anyone 300 years ago – they mastered empty territory. Blacks moved southward and began to settle near the whites in search of work and a better life.

Indeed the Afrikaner presence became a magnet for the Zulus and other inhabitants of the African continent as was also seen in North America, in Australia. However in the latter two countries, the white settlers did not help the local residents – instead they destroyed them, and herded them into reservations. And while Afrikaners were not prepared to see the black Africans as equals – they at the same time, due to their biblical morality also did not allow them to behave like the white Americans and Australians had done towards their indigenous tribes.

The ‘enlightened liberal world’ is condemning apartheid’s inequalities for blacks. However we do not believe that equality is necessary a moral choice: we are more interested in human life itself.

So let’s look at human life during apartheid and thereafter. In 1948, at the launch of the apartheid-years, the average life expectancy "of African-South Africans" was approaching 38 years – but by the end of apartheid in 1994, the life-expectancy of African-South Africans had reached 64 years. In that time its infant mortality rates fell from 174 to 55 per thousand births. ..

And more about the value of human life. From 1948 to 1994 a total of 21,000 murder-victims were registered. It is noteworthy that 14.000 of these were registered in the period 1990-1994 – in the riotous run-up years to the end of apartheid. Ninety-two percent of these latter 14,000 people were killed in violent clashes. But between 1948 to 1990 in all the clashes with police during the "apartheid regime" a total of 518 people died – and these statistics included the riots in Soweto, in Sharpville and similar black mob attacks on soldiers and police.

South Africa today – the appalling statistics:

Now compare these apartheid-era statistics above with the appalling number of 35.000 violent deaths per year. From 1994 to 2010 a total of 174.220 people died violently in South Africa.

Whatever criteria we might use, will have to admit that blacks lived better lives n South Africa under apartheid, better than under the yoke of any of the black dictators on the African continent.

I must admit that we are much more concerned about the fate of our white Afrikaner friends in South Africa – and also added to this is the fact that Israel is not indifferent to developments in the sub-saharan continent.

The open hostility displayed towards us by Washington dictates that Israel must find alternative partners. Remember how Martin Luther King thrilled the whole world in his speech «I have a dream»?

And now we dream of that came true visionary words in rhw early twentieth century, Nicholas Van Rensburg – describing Afrikaners would be losing power; would enter into an unequal fight and win. I think such a development would delight not only those living in Israel. I am certain that such changes would also delight the inhabitants of the Kremlin. But are they realistic?

Five million whites against the fourty-odd millions of blacks?

Yes, those numbers sound like a death sentence, However a closer consideration of the situation also reveals that about a third of the sons of Ham in South Africa now are infected with AIDS and that their numbers are still growing – and especially among black males. It is not just about the demographic factor.

This disease demoralizes them, and corrupts last their human foundations. If you look at the problem of AIDS, coupled with crime, it is difficult to imagine that you can avoid the explosion of violence in the country.

In this situation, the white remains if not the most cohesive, most certainly the better-prepared team. For fifteen years I have watched the proceedings in South Africa with pain and despair.

However in recent months signals have started to arrive that the Boers are awakening. And, just like a hundred years ago, Jabotinsky said that ‘if it were not for his work on settling the Land of Israel, he had gone to fight alongside the Boers’. So are we today. However, not only to help them because it’s for our good and our honour – but also to present Barack Hussein Obama with a surprise: the return of white power in South Africa…

The term "genocide" was coined by legal scholar Raphael Lemkin in 1943, writing:

'Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actionsaiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.

The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of personal security, liberty, health, dignity and lives of the members of such groups...
